Contract Python Developer - Day Rate, Remote in Ireland
Python 2 to Python 3 Upgrade Project (initially for 6 months)
Our prestigious, highly-regarded customer is a market leader in investment management, with offices in 20 financial hubs across the world. As part of a new strategy, they’re investing in a wide-scale modernisation of their tech stack to support this strategy. They have a footprint of a globally distributed technology platform, deployed across both on-prem data centres and within public cloud environments including AWS.
You will join a small group of developers responsible for upgrading business-critical, flagship systems from Python 2 to Python 3. This will be done in parallel to ongoing enhancements and adding new functionality required to support the business, and executing a seamless transition to the new version of Python without disruption will be essential.
There is a strong possibility of extending the contract past 6 months, to work on building and maintaining the front-office tools that support a highly-regarded Global Credit business.
Naturally, prior experience in upgrading Python versions is highly desirable (but not essential) as are excellent interpersonal and communication skills and being a creative problem solver.
This is a unique opportunity to work on a high-calibre team and to bring technical innovation to an interesting and fast-paced business, in which our customer is a leader.
